The Way We Speak with Ian Ebright

Thu, 24 Oct 2024 05:11:14 GMT

Placing the question "Does God exist?" at the center of his first feature length film came naturally for writer-director Ian Ebright. After crafting multiple thoughtful short films about morality and the social contracts that bind (or unbind) us, he delivers a powerful look at what pride, grief, and certainty can do to a person. Starring Patrick Fabian (of Better Call Saul fame) and a brilliant ensemble cast,The Way We Speak offers a sharp and humbling look at the modern man and the lengths he may go to in order to be seen and heard.

Ian and Kelly discuss the making of the film, Ian's oeuvre of short films (which you can watch at brokentelegraph.com), breaking free from the dominant narratives of religion and our right to comfort in the West, and how stories have the power to change the world.

#11 - Uses of the Erotic by Audre Lorde

Wed, 19 Aug 2020 18:20:22 GMT

Kelly reads Audre Lorde's Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power.

"When we begin to live from within outward, in touch with the power of the erotic within ourselves, and allowing that power to inform and illuminate our actions upon the world around us, then we begin to be responsible to ourselves in the deepest sense. For as we begin to recognize our deepest feelings, we begin to give up, of necessity, being satisfied with suffering and self-negation, and with the numbness which so often seems like their only alternative in our society. Our acts against oppression become integral with self, motivated and empowered from within."
